Transmigrated into third-rated romance novel

Lu Enterprises;

After shutting the door, Zhao Mei surveyed her surroundings. Everyone in the office was staring at her. Their eyes were mocking her, 'Hah! Served you right. A sparrow, wanting to become a phoenix.'

However, a few older staff held sympathy and pity in their eyes for her.

She hurriedly got out of the office building and entered into the cab.

"To the Sky-High Apartments," she said in a hoarse voice.

Looking outside as the car passes by the tall buildings, she reminisces the moment she transmigrated here.

She transmigrated here 15 years ago in this third-rated romance novel, "Mr. CEO: Love Me, Harder."

How does she know this?

She remembered her past life as an orphan. With her hard work, she entered a prestigious university through a scholarship program and able to graduate. She was happy, but somewhere her heart still yearned for a family.

She still cannot get over the fact that her death was due to loneliness.

'Haaah! Can you believe it?'

Who dies from loneliness?

'You,' her consciousness answered.

When she first transmigrated here, she found herself in the orphanage.

Her mind was in chaos because she remembered sleep while reading that novel.

Her eyes roamed over her small hands and feet and the dress she was wearing.

"Ehhhh!" was her first reaction when she found herself in this tiny body.

A woman in her mid-30s reached out to her and, said come, your parents are here.

In a room, a couple was sitting, seeing her their eyes light up.

However, she was confused about who they were. Heck, she did not know where she was at that time.

"Umm…who you are?" she asked hesitantly.

"Me, I'm Yu Meixiu, your Mom," said she while pointing at the man who was now standing beside her wife.

"He is your Dad, Zhao Wenjun."

"You are our daughter, Zhao Mei," her husband said.

"Our MeiMei."

Suddenly, her mind ringed thousands of bells. She remembered these names.

Aren't these are not names of the female lead's parents in the novel, she read last night.

She cut that thought in instant. No…No. It is not possible.

This must be a dream and pinched herself hard.

However, God was playing with her.

This was no dream but reality.

She has really transmigrated into the novel, 'Mr. CEO: Love Me, Harder.'

She became the evil adopted sister of the female lead. A spoiled brat.

Her character was portrayed so evil-minded that every reader hated her.

They cursed her like a dog who bites its owner's hands.

In the novel, she can go to any extent to destroy the female lead, so that her position was secured as the princess of the Zhao family and, the future madam of the Lu family.

But all her bad deeds came to light, courtesy to Male Lead.

She was disowned by her adopted family and sold to the red light district, where she met her end.

But the novel still did not explained, why they thought her as their real daughter.

Why did they lose her in the first place?

There are many, WHYS?

'ring…. ring….' she sees a name flashing on her phone screen.

After taking a deep breath and calming herself.

She said in a cheerful voice, "Hello! To you my, dear Lanlan."

"Cut the crappy greetings, Xiao Mei. I know you are sad because of that bastard," said Li Roulan from another side.

"I am not sad. Why should I be?" she said.

"How can you not be? You followed him like an innocent puppy."

"Really, Lanlan I'm alright. It's his loss. He cannot handle the real me."

"You are right. It's his loss. He cannot see how precious you are."

"If he ever came in front of me, I promise that his eyes will become panda eyes. He will also not able to protect his jewel."

"Heheheh!" she laughed.

"Aish! At least you laughed. I was worried that my Xiao Mei has forgotten her laugh due to some bitch and bastard."

Listening to this, a rare smile bloomed on Zhao Mei's face.

Yes, even I have lost him and, my heart ached. At least I have my adopted family and my dear bestie Lanlan.

I haven't done anything evil to harm the female lead, which means no wrath from the Male lead and my family.

"Don't worry, today we will have some girl's talk and sleepover," Li Roulan said. "Till then, please take care of yourself."

"Mam! We have arrived at your destination," said the cab driver.

She paid the cab fare and got out from there.

Suddenly, a message popped up on her screen.

'Come back home tomorrow.'

It was from her adopted father but, it sounded cold, so cold.

He was always the one who doted on me, even knowing I was not his real daughter.

But after return of Zhao Liying, he became cold.

I do not know what I did for him to be so alienated from me.

'Ok' message sent and goes towards the lift.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Closing the door of her apartment, she crashed on her bed. Thinking about how things will go from now.

After realizing she transmigrated here, her first thought was to become the exact opposite of the evil adopted sister mentioned in the novel.

She was excited to start her new life.

She will also have a family.

So, she followed the troupe of female lead transmigrating as a villain in novel.

Did what every transmigrated girl usually does after transmigrating into a villainous character.

To receive full, fledge love from her family. No fighting, no selfish demands.

To not do anything that will harm or sabotage anyone.

Just like a docile cute bunny she, lived her life like a façade.

A perfect princess with an understanding heart.

So much understanding that she forgot her real self.

What an irony?

But she was happy. At least some people cared for her.

I'm kinda like a perfect picture with a broken frame.

However, I'm so tired of pretending.

Her betrothal with Lu Xiang was set from the day she was brought into the Zhao family.

At first, she avoided him because of her future death.

But slowly, she found herself falling in love with him, even his face remains stoic, he still showed some care for her.

So, she did everything that the female lead has done to receive his love.

She was beautiful than the female lead. She was not exaggerating herself when she thought.

Because in reality, she was much more beautiful and elegant than the female lead.

'Lol! Narcissistic,' her subconscious said.

I waited patiently for my time.

But when I thought finally love has come to me, he called her name.

It still hurts.

It seems her halo was weak in comparison to the female lead aka Zhao Liying.

However, she had to endure it because he was not her destined partner from start.

She has dug the pit and fallen into it herself.

Thinking all of this, she didn't knew when she fell asleep.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Knock…knock…. knock.'

"Hmmm!" she stirred in her sleep.

'Knock…. Knock...'

She sprang from her and ran to open the door.

"Do you know, how long I have been ringing the bell," Li Roulan entered the apartment and asked anxiously.

"I was worried sick when you were not opening it. I thought you have done something to yourself. From now on, I need a duplicate key...

She kept rambling on and scolding her. This warmed Zhao Mei's heart.

She knew the one person who will not change even if the novel follows its original plotline was her bestie Li Roulan.

Li Roulan and her became friends when she saved her from bullies.

Even when they were not bestie's and had hurt Li Roulan emotionally in the novel

She was the one who didn't give up saving the evil Zhao Mei when she was sold to the red light district.

However, she was late. The Zhao Mei in the novel has committed suicide instead of being tainted by any filthy person.

But she was respectably cremated. The one who made it all possible was her, 'Li Roulan.'

Reminiscing about the novel, she suddenly hugged Li Roulan from behind and emotionally said, "Thank You, Lanlan. What would have I done if you were not here?"

"Stupid! who are you saying thank you for, "she knocked her head lightly. "You are my bestie, my soul sister. If I am not here then. who that Zhao Liying, the two-faced bitch."

"hehehehe," she chuckled lightly.

"Come, let's binge watch some chick flick. I have brought 3 tubs of your favorite chocolate ice-cream," showing the tub of ice-cream.

She plopped onto the sofa and, turn the T.V on, "Forget about that bastard. He's not worth it."

"Let go to the club as tomorrow is Saturday night. Have some fun.."

"Naah!"

"Come on, you need some change. You have devoted your life to that bastard and ignored all the fun."

"Now, you said I will go and find someone to get laid, who is more handsome than that bastard."

"Yay! I knew it. You deserve best my dear."

"However, I have to go to Zhao Mansion. Pickup me from there."

"Okie Dookie."
